Removing nails from a nail gun
 

I have been asked to do a repair on a piece of furniture. A piece of
1" pine measuring 6" x 18" has fallen off. the piece was assembled
using a nail gun with 6 nails at each end. These things protrude about
1" on the back side of the piece. Unlike nails which I could hammer
out these are to small and just bend.
Does anyone have a good idea on how to remove these easily?
Thanks for any and all help.

Pull them all the way through. It's the same procedure if you shoot one into
your hand.

Pull them through the back using pliers. You'll end up with less damage to
the surface this way and because you are pulling rather than pushing the
propensity of the nails to bend is a non issue.

Easiest depending upon the size of the head, is to pull them through with a
pair of pilers, pine will pull straight through fairly easy.

Pull them through, or else clip them off.

Thank you for your assistance. I am glad to see that everyone is of
the same opinion.
If only our politics were the same.

Well to be honest, when I first saw the subject I was going to suggest what
some "city guys" do to unload their rifles at the end of an unsuccessful day
of hunting... shoot 'em all up into a tree!

So we'd all be in step as we marched off the cliff together? :-)

I thought we did, Morris...
We have at least 2 cliffs to choose from..

Why would that be good?
